drops in

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what a visitor does' is the definition.
The definition suggests a comparative adjective but the answer is not.

'give up crime' is the wordplay.
'give up' becomes 'drop' (dropping is a kind of giving up).
'crime' becomes 'sin'.
'drop'+'sin'='DROPS IN'

'making one' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drops in that I've seen before include "Casually visits" , "Calls casually" , "Comes to see" , "eye thus getting less inflamed?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
